Summary
Running late to the Hinkler gala performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore, she meets some thugs in a dark alley and handles them convincingly before they can ruin her silver dress. Phryne then finds that she has rescued a gorgeous Chinese, Lin Chung, and his grandmother, and is briefly mistaken for a deity. Denying divinity but accepting cognac, she later continues safely to the theater. But it's an unexpected evening as her night is again interrupted by a most bizarre death onstage.
What links can Phryne possibly find between the ridiculously entertaining plot of Ruddigore, the city's Chinese community, and the actors treading the boards of His Majesty's Theatre? Drawn backstage and onstage, Phryne must solve an old murder and find a new murderer, and, of course, banish the theater's ghost, who seems likely to kill again.

Critic reviews
"Phryne Fisher sparkles with wit and champagne elegance. Stephanie Daniel performs with genteel ease. Her upper-class Australian accents and her wild assortment of reputable and disreputable characters are truly amazing." ( AudioFile)

Easy listening
I like the character and situations.
I’ve listened to quite a few of the books and whereas I think the narrator does a good job, I find the singing bizarre and grating and I’m truly bewildered that she doesn’t use Australian accents.

Everyone should listen to their inner Phryne
Kerry Greenwood has created a unique and wonderful heroine. The novels are well read by Stephanie Daniel but her Scottish accent and her singing are appalling. Mac isn’t the woman she should be as a result, and the singing grates so painfully on the ear that I would rather skip 30 seconds and miss some of the dialogue, rather than have to listen to it. That said, she does have a very pleasant speaking voice. Phryne Fisher is simply wonderful and gathers equally wonderful characters around her.

Same great formula
Same great formula as the other Phryne Fisher books. Well told and well read.
Really missed the interview with Kerry Greenwood at the end (there wasn't one) to understand why it was written and her research for the book.

Ruddy Gore
Miss Fisher has a hard time working out what is happening when production manager asked to help after the leading man and his understudy both collapsed on stage in the same performance. With loads of misleadingly evidence as the cast have been trying to get one over on each other, Miss Fisher with the help of a new friend works out how it is all done. Read brilliantly again by Stephanie Daniel.

Unable to immerse myself in this story
The orator as usual tells the story very well.
Found the story rather difficult to follow and was glad to make it through to the end.

Too much terrible singing
Stephanie Daniel is usually so good but please Stephanie no more singing! Spoiled the end entirely. The only time I have ever fast forwarded a book.
